Join Us in Palestine/Israel

2019 Delegations

Join one of these four unique journeys to Palestine/Israel

What to Expect

An Eyewitness Palestine delegation is a unique human journey. When you travel with us, you will see injustice, but you will also see steadfastness and hope.

Visit community centers, civil society organizations, farms, and collectives; tour sites of historic and religious significance; and meet people of faith from all three Abrahamic religions.

We are driven by a sense of responsibility forged in human connections - a warm cup of tea, a shared laugh, or a stumbling attempt at debka (the Palestinian folk dance our hosts so energetically share).

Your journey is garuanteed to be real, honest, heartfelt, and genuine. These are the ingredients we mix in every delegation.

Preparing for Your Delegation

With Eyewitness Palestine you will be prepared and confident for your journey.

Preparatory resources and educational webinars will get you ready to go while our staff are on hand to answer your questions.

Our orientation in Washington, DC is a vital time for the group to build cohesion and a sense of purpose. Sessions and workshops focus on team-building, communicating our experiences, the logistics of travel and entry, and racial justice and equity.

Travel and Safety

When you join Eyewitness Palestine, your safety is our priority.

We’ve led over 60 delegations since 2001 without a single major safety incident. We travel on established airlines and air-conditioned buses (often with wi-fi). Our professional drivers are adept at navigating the narrow streets and unique traffic conditions of the Holy Land.

We monitor the security situation and maintain regular contact with Palestinian and Israeli partners; our licensed guides are experts in understanding the local security situation; and our leaders are experienced and equipped to deal with any situation.

We focus on safety so you can focus on learning, connecting with Palestinians and Israelis, and building solidarity.

Food and Hospitality

Palestinians take great pride in their hospitality, and you will understand why!

On your delegation, you will stay most nights at clean and comfortable Palestinian-owned hotels (rated 3.5 - 5 stars). You will spend one or two nights each delegation in the homes of Palestinian families and/or community centers.

Expect mountains of rice, vegetables, and meat, fresh salads, delicious dips, and plenty of international options such as pizza, sandwiches, and wraps. We often accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.

Food is a key cultural element in this region, and you’ll be fed very well!
